Native macOS power management delivers the best combination of processor and graphics performance and efficiency. The ingredients are an installed processor XCPM enabling ssdt or correctly configured Clover setting, a compatible system definition and the native power management kext. Native power management does not require specific BIOS settings or anything more than installing one power management ssdt or setting Clover correctly.

To be clear, native power management is not mandatory. The consequences are not severe. Performance is similar, however, higher temps (~10 C), more power (5-10 W) and sleep problems are likely.
